I'm going to see the opening act, Kellie Pickler, from right here in North Carolina.

I've seen both of them in concert, and both are great. Both Taylor and Kellie are warm and personable if you get a chance to meet them. And they both know how to keep the crowds entertained.

But Kellie is my girl. I've been following her career since her American Idol days, and I can't wait to see her.
